Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 5H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine-6(7H)-carboxylate (1.50 g) in glycol monomethyl ether was added a catalytic amount of 10% Pd/C. The suspension was heated to 70° C. and stirred for 6 h under H2. The resulted mixture was cooled to rt, poured into 100 mL of water and extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL×3). The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as pale yellow oil (0.95 g, 65.00%). The crude product was used for the next step without further purification. The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 227.2 (M+1).
